The Odd State Out

When the State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement was established in 2013, few would have imagined that just five years later, almost every state in the U.S. would be involved.

Despite initial opposition, Massachusetts is expected to become the 49th state to join the agreement later this year. If that happens, California will be the only state that is not a member of SARA -- a regulatory framework that makes it simpler for colleges and universities to gain state-level approval to offer online education across the U.S.
